Steven Jackson would have a ball in atlanta behind a good offensive line. Rodgers wouldn’t be used any different than he would last year, he isn’t handling three downs yet in koetters offense.

It is a gentle reminder that, no matter how bad my day is, at least my team did not put up the most disappointing season imaginable.

The 2012 Saints; worst defense in the history of football. Yeah, I would be mad and lashing out too.

I would draft a later round guy and sign someone like Jonathan Dwyer. Unless Steven Jackson gets cut, the falcons could probably get him at a discount.

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 18:02:40 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1764592#comment-2351937If he is a 3 down back, why didn’t Coach Smitty use him last year as the featured back..this guy is not a 3 down back, but a complimentary back to a much bigger back…he is too small to take that kind of pounding for 4 quarters..he can’t break a defense down the entire game…that’s a cold hard fact, Falcons need a new running back to pair with Rodgers.

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:54:15 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1764592#comment-2351920While Rodgers is a good running back, Mike Smith is bringing the hype. Rodgers is too small to break tackles coming from his side and I’ve seen that time and time again. He has good feet and a natural lower center of gravity, so he can truck someone that uses bad technique, but he’s not a bruiser back.

So he needs a complement. Even though Turner’s probably not the answer because of his lack of blocking skills in protection, you can still find someone that can go. I mean, imagine if Turner could block? They could have had both of them coming out of the backfield on the same play.

Sun, 24 Feb 2013 17:21:33 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1764592#comment-2351855I don’t doubt it. He is still the type of player who will be most effective in a dual back system with a big bruiser. Shonn Greene and Jaquizz would be a nice looking young backfield.
